JL Industries Guardsman Ligature Resistant Steel Semi-Recessed Fire Extinguisher Cabinet 10 lb CL1017M2

The JL Industries Guardsman CL1017M2 is a ligature resistant fire extinguisher cabinet for a 10 lb extinguisher, semi-recessed, made in the USA. JL designs the Guardsman for behavioral health and other institutional rooms that need more safety and security than a standard cabinet gives: the 3 in trim is angled, and the solid 16 gauge steel door, with no pull and no window, hangs on a concealed stud rod hinge. The door ships with a mortise cam lock installed and two keys.

What ligature resistant means here

The design takes away the usual attachment points of a standard cabinet: the trim edges are angled, the door has no pull or window and the hinge is concealed. JL says the cabinet is internally tested to resist ligature attachment and names no outside test standard, so review it against your facility's own ligature risk assessment.

Extinguisher compatibility

JL rates this tub for Cosmic and Galaxy extinguishers from 2.5 to 10 lb, Mercury from 2.5 to 5 lb and the 5 lb Sentinel. Check your extinguisher's cylinder diameter and handle height against the 6 in tub depth before ordering. See our Fire Extinguisher Cabinet Selection Guide for how depth drives fit.

Placement and mounting height follow the NFPA 10 requirements.

Where this model fits

Semi-recessed is the Guardsman for a wall that can give up only 3-1/2 in of depth: the rest of the tub sits behind the 3 in angled trim, which stays inside the 4 in protrusion limit for a corridor. JL says to confirm the rough opening depth before ordering. The door is solid, so the monthly inspection needs the key too: keep one where staff and the extinguisher inspector can reach it, and mark the cabinet's location, since the door hides the extinguisher (JL can letter the door at the factory on a quote). This model is built to order at the factory. The product image shows the same cabinet with JL's optional cylinder lock and the door open, and the cabinet ships built as specified in the table above. JL also builds the Guardsman fully recessed and surface mounted, fire-rated, in stainless steel, for a 20 lb extinguisher and with a cylinder lock or a temporary green-core lock.
